Baldwin for Pratt

Mrs. Ruth Sears Baker Pratt, famed New York City alderwoman, who is listed in the Social Register, will enter the U. S. Congress as Representative on March 4. To succeed her as alderman the Republican District Committee chose last week another Social Registerite. He is Joseph Clark Baldwin III., Manhattan banker, graduate of St. Paul's School and Harvard.

Mr. Baldwin is a veteran of the Argonne. His Army experiences followed nine months of naval mal de mer. His wife, Mrs. Marthe Guillon Verne Baldwin, is a niece of famed Jules Verne (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea). Politically, Mr. Baldwin echoes Mrs. Pratt, of whom he is a close friend.
